Wondering if there are unreported/undetected measles cases where you live? We have a way to figure that out (somewhat!) thanks to wastewater monitoring. You can see here when places all around the U.S. detect measles in the wastewater. data.wastewaterscan.org/tracker?charts…

Asked whether murderers have escaped prosecution in Idaho’s coroner system, Ada County Coroner Rich Riffle said: “My humble opinion? Yes.” an absolute must-read by Audrey Dutton

The coroner had no staff, vehicle or office. His autopsy budget was tiny. "If you don't care enough about how death investigations are done in your jurisdiction to invest in the people doing it ... you're going to get what you get," said a national expert. propublica.org/article/idaho-…

In January, Brad Little said he'd support more state resources to help Idaho’s coroners do their jobs. But he never got the chance; the state legislature didn't send him any bills with funding for coroners or death investigations. propublica.org/article/idaho-…

I'd quote some of the best passages from this story, but it would break the limit for a single thread. This is just a really good story to read if you're curious about Idaho politics -- or simply Idaho GOP or Idaho conservative politics, which are NOT monoliths.
